1997 TVR

1997 -TVR Chimaera 500 PAS

Formula Red, with Cream Hide, and Black carpets.

49,000 miles. (The car had a replacement engine fitted by TVRSSW about 10yrs ago, due to a crank issue - This is why the car is not at the price you would normally expect for a 1-owner Chim 500 in this condition, that has just had this amount of work carried out. Normally you'd expect this sort of car to be in the £22k to £24k bracket).

New outriggers just fitted, along with 12k service, new carpets, and new fuel lines.

Only 1 private owner from new (how often does that happen). Logbook shows two owners, but the first owner was the company he owned; all other paperwork proves the single ownership.

This example was also the subject of a full respray a few years back, and still presents beautifully.

She comes with PAS, Estoril alloys, and full hide trim.

The private plate P500 BOW also stays with the car.

The carpets are new, so the interior is also a great place to be. The dash has also been changed during the car's life, so no damage there. The leather shows some minor signs of patina, but nothing other than what's expected from a 49,000 mile car.

The alloys have one or two marks, but again, nothing major.

A large history file accompanies the car, along with the original handbook and both keys.

The radiator has recently been re-cored, and the car sits on upgraded, adjustable Racing Red dampers.

The outriggers have just been replaced by us in-house, with our bespoke sets, not the pre-made, thin sets. They have been zinc primed and powder coated. The inner chassis sections are in excellent order.

More pics and videos soon, it's just been finished and we are waiting on a weather window to take new photos of the interior and chassis work.

The car is based at our Devon branch.

A great opportunity to purchase a lovely 5 litre, with only 1 previous owner, and in a standout colour.
